We're looking at the feedback on Rituals. Thanks for sharing your key feedback points so clearly.

Our dev time last week was spent more on immediate issues and just absorbing core feedback to be worked from this week (or started last week for a future update). We'll be prioritising the most impactful stuff, and Rituals are a core focus of the team to look at as part of that.

This. We reverted the change today.

We'll look at adding a specific mention of Overloads here for clarity though.

This was hotfixed last week so there's no change from what you've been experiencing today.

We're definitely aware of the feedback and it's being considered. No ETA to share on any changes in that area, but we may have more concrete news at the end of the week in our next Necromancy Community Update blog.

We'll pass that feedback to the team.

That was fixed today!

• Rasial's equipment will now be correctly augmented when using augmentors.

Sorry for the wait. The team are getting through any tickets as soon as we can. We'll check in with them today to see what the latest is on response times for these.

Mod Ryan mentioned in his post last week, but our first week was dedicated to fixing more immediate issues as the priority and start digesting feedback for future updates.

You'll see more general improvements and refinements over the weeks ahead.

Fair point. We'll talk to development and try to respond early next week with more context - at the very least, we'll cover it in next week's Livestream.

Just to add to this - our first Necromancy update post is dropping at 3pm Game Time today which give even more detail on where we are today (and as Mod Ryan said, more valuable conversations to happen next week).

We'll also have a stream next week focused on Necromancy to keep the conversation flowing.

Nice! I got to Hermod last night as well, and it's been awesome to be playing Full Manual while bossing for once. Good luck on your learning journey - go get Rasial!

Yeah this is definitely something we're aware of - we're discussing the feedback and how best to address it.

We just hotfixed this. Thanks for reporting it.

You'll hear from us soon - it's a conversation we'll definitely have and take feedback on.

The dev team's time right now has been focused specifically on Necromancy and initial feedback / bugs specifically on that content as the priority. Once the dust settles on release a little bit, we'll work with development on having a conversation around this - won't be long at all, we're talking days/weeks not months.

All your thoughts are being read by the team - here and elsewhere - to consider already though.

Update: Aug 8, 2:10 Game Time

We have deployed a fix and we believe the issue has now been resolved. Thanks so much for the patience - enjoy Necromancy!

When it's this late at night, I greatly appreciate the dad joke. Thanks for the laugh.

We are investigating reports of Login Issues and availability of certain Worlds. Please stand by for further updates.

It's not unintended method, it's unintended design balancing.

There's always a risk when working with 22 years of content relevant to a new Skill that we can miss older content methods that are outside our intentions for the XP balance of the skill. There was nothing wrong being done by doing this.

Essentially it was a nice find, but something we wanted to close off for balance reasons rather than being a bug that was abused.

This is a known issue that's affecting a small subset of players. Sorry you've been affected.

If you log out and retry the cinematic, you should be offered the option to skip. This is a workaround for anyone running into this - let us know if it helps you progress.

We're consistently monitoring XP earn rates across the Skill to ensure all methods are within reasonable expectations for progression.

It was valid, you absolutely didn't break any rules or doing anything untoward. We addressed the rate because it was as outside of intended experience rates based on our designs - partly due to it being an outdated method.

Anything you earned is legitimate, even if we needed to address the XP rate, so you've still got the gains from the method even if it's not viable anymore.
